Heveningham and other persons that were Contributors thereabouts Mr. Peters was appointed to receive of one Mr. Gerrard his Contribution-money but being the Priest of the House Mr. Evers was willing to do it for him Mr. Gaven undertook for several private Gentl●m●n about Wolverhampton viz of Mr. Gifford of Chillington Mr. Fitz-Herbert Mr Gravener Mr. Winford Mr. Humphrey Elliot with several others of which money I received Five hundred pound at Wolverhampton of Mr. Vavasor and Mr. Gaven which Sum of Mr. Evers with other monies returned here to Mr. Harcourt and it being then asked Who was to speak to Mr. Howard for his money It was answered Mr. Broadstreet though Mr. Evers said he wou'd do it himself but for Mr. Herbert Aston who was also a Contributor in the said Design and being in debt ought to be looked on accordingly To which Mr. Vavasor replyed That it was for a good and Charitable Use and God wou'd the more encrease his store or to that purpose which monies so Collected and Received or should come in should be returned to Mr. Harcourt and Mr. Ireland who should receive Orders how they should dispose of the same and if any doubt should arise they should repair to Mr. Benefield who wou'd resolve the same That at another time Mr. Ireland told me when I came to London he wou'd give me Instructions and order how I should proceed in my Undertakings To all which I did seem very content and told me he wou'd speak to Groves that I might have notice how the Design went on for then he cou'd not tell till he had spoken to my Lord Bellasis and my Lord Arundell of Warder who would prove the Loyal'st men of Trust and Council of any persons in the World but before I received my Letter from Mr. Ireland the said Groves was in Newgate That I saw a Letter from Mr. Harcourt who told Mr. Evers That he had lately received a Letter from Mr. Warner wherein was mentioned That Mr. Warner had used all care imaginable for the helping on the design in hand and that there was Four hundred pound of the said money in Mr. Ireland's hands for that purpose and I heard Mr. Peters tell Mr. Evers that he was very glad that Mr. Whitebread was made Provincial of the Jesuits for that he wou'd be very careful in carrying the design on and a close man in his business and they then agreed that my Lord Arundell of Warder was the only man we had to trust to being a Wise man and much in favour with the Duke of York That in a little time after this Discourse had I received in a Letter of mine 3 Letters inclosed from Mr. Beningfield one from Paris and one from Mr. Harcourt that from Mr. Beningfield was to let Mr. Evers know that he had spoken with my Lord Arundel of Warder and that my Lord was very willing to assist in what was requested by Mr. Evers and Mr. Vavasor which Letters I intercepted and I never let Mr. Evers know to whom they were directed that I had received them but being not long after in Discourse with him in his Chamber I asked him what Persons of Quality or Note did besides those he had mentioned to me countenance our Design to which he answered that there were several in other places where the business went on aswel as here and at the same time told me that he had Writ to Mr. Beningfield to request my Lord Arundel of Warder to be assisting in the matter which then was in hand and I desiring to know of him whether my Lord was concerned in their Design he told me that his Lordship was to undertake the most part of the Design and with my Lord Bellasis to give Order both as to the taking the King's Life away and the Duke of Monmouth's and for the Establishing the Romish Government here That about the middle of September 1678 a Letter came to my hands of Mr. Evers which I opened the Contents whereof were to this purpose that he had been with my Lord Arundel and my Lord told him that he spoke to the person he was requested and it was both their Opinions that it was the best way to speed their Design The persons name which sent the Letter I know not for there was two Letters for his name which were I. W. That when the Design was set on foot it was not for the taking the King's Life away but to provide for themselves Money and Arms against the King died for it was always thought amongst us that the D. of M. would stand for the Crown after the King's Death and then our hopes would be frustrated for ever having here the Romish Religion established But the perceiving and seeing it was his Majesties whole Endeavours to Establish and secure the Protestant Religion so firm that it should not be removed for the future It was by Decrees thought fit that this way that is now designed and endeavoured to be carried on would most answer their wicked ends and for those that had bin active therein they agreed should have Rewards and thinking that I amongst the rest had deserved somthing Ordered I should have an equal share with one Captain Aderley who was an Agent in the said Plot but how much it should be and in what after the Design took effect was not then declared but was to be determined by the D. of Y. and my Lord Arundel and some other persons but it should be such a share as should make me and my Posterity happy Which I accepted with great thankfulness to Mr. Evers Mr. Gavan Mr. Peters and Mr. Leviston who then promised to see it fulfilled to me alledging at the same time that there would be lands enough of the Protestants to reward every one that had been active in the said Design That in the Summer 1678 I met with one Humphry Elliot who fell into Discourse with me about Mr. Ireland who said he had told him that I was to go up to London upon an occasion that would also oblige him to come up which Discourse something startled me which he perceiving told me I need not fear him for if I suffered he was like to suffer as well as I and begg'd of me not to impart my mind to any one except my Lord Stafford or Mr. Evers or whom they should appoint That for the carrying on the whole Design in several other Counties Mr. Peters Evers and Pool told me that there was for a part of Worcester appointed one Mr. Turner and three more whose names I have forgot and for a part of Darbyshire and a part of Nottinghamshire was appointed one Mr. Turner Mr. Bennet and Mr. Pool of Spnikehill and one Mr. Heaton which were to take care of their several Liberties as well for engaging persons in the Hellish Design as for raising of mony of the Gentlemen to carry it on and to give in their several accounts to the Provincial who was then appointed
